+DEV+ Jesus, the Source of Life

Jesus, the Source of Life

"Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb..." (Revelation 22:1)
Scripture Focus: Revelation 22:1-13

As Revelation opened, John obviously had many questions, all good ones. I assume he was concerned about what would happen in the future in light of the trials of the moment. As the Lamb broke the seven seals, John's questions as to when went largely unanswered. The revelation focused not on a time, but on Jesus Christ Himself, the Lamb of God. We have now come to the end of the revelation and, once again, our attention is drawn, not to a timetable, but to the Lamb.

From the throne and the Lamb a virtual river gushed out. Our mind goes back to when the soldiers pierced Jesus side, producing a rush of His life blood and water. That river of salvation ran down the center of main street, offering cleansing, refreshment and renewal.

Its properties were marvelous. No matter how many sins it cleansed or how many sinners bathed in it, it flowed on as clear as crystal. Furthermore, it continues to gush forth with power and determination without interruption, ever fresh, ever new for you and me today.

Insight: May The Life-Giving Water Of Grace Flow With Power Into Our Parched Plots To Turn Our Deserts Into Gardens Of Delight.
